Yesterday TeaChatters indicated they preferred domestic vendors by a 3 to 2 margin. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Welcome one and all to another TeaDay. Shall we brew...and then share what is in our cups today...all day? Dont' forget to check out what everyone else is sipping as well. You can also reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to!

Today's topic was suggested by someone...I think their PM got dropped out the back end one day when I received a lot of PMs (PM boxes are way too small). If you are out there, please let me know who you are.

So, today's TeaPoll and discussion topic takes us off the subject of vendors (for now anyway). A little frivolous posting about each other. It is a let's get to know each other day! So, besides Tea, what other food related serious interests or hobbies do you have. I am sure I missed many on the poll. So share now...

I am as always looking forward to seeing everyone on TeaDay! Bottoms up...refill...repeat many times!

Also, while I have your attention, can anyone recommend a non-vegetal tasting green tea? I like green tea, but not when it hits me with plant-ee-ness. If non-vegetal and green tea are words that don't like eachother, that's fine too, I'll drink oolong.

And what could be more down to earth than Tie Guan Yin from one of those darling, single-serving, vacuum-pack, shiny bags that seem so popular in Fujian these days, served in a basic transferware pot and cup.

How about yellow tea? That's supposed to have lost most of the grassy flavor. And there's always the whites, of course...

... some of which I'm enjoying right now. Yep, no grassy vegetal taste there.

I am a pho fanatic. My husband and son both love it too. We travel all over the metro area looking for the perfect steaming bowl of broth and noodles and we are rarely disappointed. There are some excellent pho restaurants in Denver! I am also passionate about Thai food, especially the curries, but my husband isn't quite so enthusiastic. Fortunately, my ten year old son can't say no to a plate of pad thai (mild spice with tofu, thankyouverymuch) so I have a partner for my Thai food addiction as well.

I had to vote "Other," because I really need an "All of the above" answer. I'm a gourmet cook and teach cooking classes, mainly in ethnic food. My kids' friends think they're *weird* because they eat hot curries, sushi, Thai food, etc. at ages 4 and 7. Don't get me wrong, they love a good Happy Meal as much as the next swine swilling tot, but they would eat sushi over it on any day (depending on the toy, of course). I love excellent microbrews and good red wine. Don't get me started on chocolate, esp. this week (sorry, guys). I could go on ....

Besides tea I`m interested in whisky, Scottish single malt of course I enjoy fine dining as well, but I`m a horrible cook so I leave that to the ones with the skill :p
I`m interested in taste and aroma in general to put it like that.

Wow, I never knew this stuff about you! Cool. It's amazing how kids love whatever they grow up eating. When she was in elementary school, my Venezuelan step-daughter always had first dibs on the eyeballs of the fish.
